Latest Update: Éder Militão's Injury Update for Flamengo

Title: Latest Update on Éder Militão's Injury: Flamengo Defender to Miss Out on Copa Libertadores

Flamengo defender Éder Militão is set to miss out on the upcoming Copa Libertadores due to injury, according to reports from Brazil.

The Brazilian defender sustained an ankle injury during training and has been ruled out of action for at least two months. The club confirmed the news in a statement released on Monday.

Militão was one of the key players for Flamengo last season, helping them reach the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores. He scored twice in the group stage, including a crucial goal against eventual champions River Plate that helped Flamengo advance to the knockout stages.

However, his absence will be a blow for Flamengo as they look to defend their title this year. The team has already lost several key players due to injuries, with goalkeeper Raul Sequeira also expected to miss out on the tournament.

The injury to Militão comes at a time when Flamengo is looking to bounce back after a disappointing campaign last year. They finished fourth in the Campeonato Brasileiro, missing out on the top three spots that would have guaranteed qualification for the Copa Libertadores.

With the team already without some of its best players, such as Matheus Fernandes and Gabriel Barbosa, the loss of Militão could be a significant blow.

Despite the setback, Flamengo will still have plenty of talent on display in the Copa Libertadores, led by the likes of Diego Costa, João Pedro, and Willian José. The team will hope to make the most of its remaining fixtures and secure a place in the knockout stages.
